Complete a timed 50-question mixed set under exam conditions

Close every gap on your week 6 list by re-studying the underlying rule and writing a fresh example

Practice 20 scenario-based questions requiring multi-step analysis rather than single-rule recall

Rehearse explaining each major doctrine aloud in under 60 seconds to test recall without notes

Consolidate your error log into a single top-20 rules-to-remember sheet
